My hubby and I have been picking peaches off of one of our trees this month, so for this challenge, I just HAD to put peaches on my card today. :-) I stamped the peaches according to the multiple step stamping they had laid out, but I didn't like the harsh lines. So I went over them with water and added a little watercoloring here and there to soften the harsh lines from the stamping.
I sponged some pale blue ink on the top of the card, added the die cut branch, rounded the peaches with my fingers and adhered them with foam tape, and added the sentiment below the peaches. The "enjoy" die cut was actually white, and I didn't like it, so I watercolored it with some Olive ink to echo the colors of the leaves. :-)

Like how you made those peaches look good enough to eat. The blending looks awesome. It must be wonderful to be able to go and pick fresh peaches off your tree. Our cherry trees are just blossoming....so by the end of July there will be fruit. Love your card. FAV'd

Absolutely beautiful Holly!! I would love to be able to pick fresh peaches. But in Wisconsin, I guess I'll have to settle for apples
